ford cortina refurb


Not posted for a long time , but we have been very busy, the shell has had all the major bodywork done now the interior has been etch primed , primed ,two coats , top coat and laquered. The underneath is just as good !!! The main bodywork is now in primer , but we have flatted the paint work about 3 times ..it is immaculate ready for the top coat , cannot believe how much time this has taken , Simon the sprayer wants this paintwork to be the best ever, and show winning car so everything has to be perfect , we spend all day flatting the paint, to rub away all minor inperfections , then he sprays some more on and the process starts all over again, must admit it looks bloody good !! The bonnet has taken an exceptionally large amount of time so the panel appears absolutely flat and perfect
. The doors had a few minor holes at the bottom so we have lead filled any holes and now
they are like new ,
The boot had a dent in it so it was back to ebay , hell the prices are high , but found one with no bids on it , the guy had listed it wrong , a quick
99p bid and it was mine !! he didnt look to happy when i picked it up , but i gave him a quid , and collected and it was like brand new !!!
